Pan Xiaoting, known as the "Empress of Nine-ball," has won numerous honors in the billiard arena with her remarkable skills. Despite amassing a fortune of 800 million at the age of 40, her love life has been tumultuous. It is rumored that her father's overprotectiveness and interference have become a stumbling block on her path to marriage.

Under her father's strict yet…
